(Cepyrlfht. ltlt.)
Sweet, who manufactures
paper and is speaker of toe as
sembly in New York State, t-ays
that women talk a great deai of
nonsense about laws to protect
workers. 4 His opinion is: "If
working folks would lei -um
?lone, thev would not need un>ons.
strikes, health insurance, mini
mum wages, etc."
With the prohibition amend
ment soon to be in the Constitu
tion, only one more State needed,
the public will test the soun.loess
of Mr. Sweet's view. The wotKers
will HAVE to let rum alone."
It would be nice if that .hould
indeed solve all problems of the
porkers. It may not do- so, fcr in
India, where thev all 'let rum
alone," vou can hire them for
fifteen cento a day. They live on
? handful of rice, with a piece
of cotton wrapped around tneir

rice or the loin clot't.

What she is doing with opium is
more than we did with whiskey In

PARIS, Jan. 16.?The peace dele
, grates decided today to call news
paper correspondents of the allied
representatives into conference for
"an interchange of views."
It was believed the recent
secrecy" order would be brought up,
and it was predicted that it would be
materially modified.
In the meantime the storm of pro
test against confining news of the
conferences to the offiawd-com
munfque is increasing. ....
. In addition, the announcement was
I mad* that correspondents would not
fie permitted inside the foreign office
;building, as they were Sunday.^
A French fhinkic wore himself out
i *oday. exclaiming "Defundu" (for
bidden). The correspondents were
i siven the liberty of standing in the
court yard and watchinsr the dele
gates arrive and depart in their au
tomobiles.

agreement of the peace envoys to con
fine the official Information to the
public on the peace conference de
velopments to a single communique
j daily, the opinion was prevalent
i among the American newspaper men
| today that much now depends on any
I possible action of the American Con
| gress as to whether a right to all
j facts shall be demanded.
The "gag rule" was apparently ef
! fective a* a result of the resolution
taken by the peace delegates.'
j Should the situation continue as it
' stand.* today, with the only source of
official Information constituted In the
cut and dried daily communique,
American public opinion would be
kept more or le&s in the dark, ex
cept for the news contained in the of
I flcial statements.
i Only the actual developments would
bfc told in the communiques, which
means that the American Congress, as
'well as the people of the United
(States, would lark the important de
i tails surrounding these decisions and
j the debate which accompanied them,
j Both the American and riti?h press
representatives are emphatically pro
testing against this method of pro

whether this means that the Ameri

JAP SLAYER
SHOWS HOW
HARA-KIRI IS
COMMITTED
BALTIMORE, Jan. . 16.?"Thej
dagger! You take him like theea."
The diminutive Japanese hand
grasped a fountain pen that in
stantly became villainous-looking.
"You plunge heem into the right
side, like thees."
Almost sleepily-dontented Orien
tal eyes followed the course of the
hand as it, with the signiQcant pen,
pressed close to hi* side and?"you
draw through the abdomen?
Hke theeft" The hand traveled
across the body to the rfgU aide
and the basilisk eyes followed its
course lingeringly.
According To Old Custom. ? ? .
"That," concluded Dr. Norbu Ishida,
who short and killed Dr. George B.
Wolff on December 21, ' that Is hara
kiri that in what one of Japan was
in, honor obliged to do when one's
honor had been assailed?that ta what
I would have had to do years ago?I,
a man who have been compelled to
kill another." *
The Japanese alienist greeteu a
reporter in the jail at Towaon with
an apology for his costume, conven
tional except for the lack of a coat,
and grave the only Interview which
his attorney, C. "Gus" Graaon, of
Towson. has permitted since the
shooting. Himself thoroughly con
vinced of Dr. )shida's insanity, Mr.
Graaon does not intend to run the
riak of exciting his client by further
excitement attendant upon similar
talks, much if.-? it might aid his case.
Mot Despondent, He Says.
"I am not despondent." began the
educated gentleman of .lapan. "I
have been mediating, and thing* come
back to me. it was all arranged, all
arranged beforehand. I was an in
strument. It oould not be helped. I
had known him before?in 1017. Just
before the Ulst I had arranged tj lake
a room. I had paid a week in ad
vance. Then I went to the hospital.
I could not reject Dr. Brush He
urged me to stay there, to help. 1
stayed. It was part of the preordina
tion. it could not be helped."
"Night and day, night und day I
hear them talk, here. They ?ay Dr.
Wolff is crazy; they say that 'the
Japanese4 is crazy. All the time, night
and day, I hear then)."
'I n Ik a of "The \ur*r." '
"Yes. Dr. Wolff is part o; the pre
ordination plan?he is there. I shall
see him," and again the sleepy eyes',
hiding a half smile of near content,
seemed to look into the future "Yes.
he is part of it."
"And 1 shall not be here long ? I
know it. They will not help me?the
authorities. ' he added, referring pi/S
sibly to the resident officials of his
country. ? ( i.now her by the face,
not by the name," he went on as the
name of a nurse v.as mentioned.
"She?" liarnestly he looked at the
glowing end of t*e cigarette he was
smoking Complete change of expres
sion held the countenance that had
been almost happy. "Yea?1 know
her. It could not be helped. It was
arranged. I shall not be here long."
The impressive silence was inter
rupted by the hesitating suggestion:
"There will be some doctors sent by
the State to see you, Doctor."
The reference was to the approach
ing investigation Into Dr. Ishida's
.sanity by the State lunacy commls
sion, an order for which was signed
yesterday by Judge Duncan in the
.circuit court st Towson.
"Doctors," repeated the man of
Japan, "they will do no good." And
the weary smile that accompanied
the words held nothing of the realiza
tion of murder.

ANNAPOLIS, Md.. Jan. ie.~In
opinion delivered by Judge N. Charles
Burke this morning the Court of Ap
peals of Maryland affirmed the judg
! ment of the circuit court for Baltl
'More totinty'in Which'John Snowden,
an Annapolis negro, was convicted of
the murder of Mrs. Lottie May Bran
don. a young: Washington woman, on
I August 8. 1917, in this city.
| Snowden was sentenced to be hung,
and the action of the court of appeals
today makes it practically certain the
sefttehe'e will be carried out. Those
close to Oovernor Harrington say he
is convinced of the guilt of Snowden, j
and will not hesitate to set a date for ;
the execution. It is likely to take
place about the middle of February.
Snowden, .in spite of the evidence
against him. persistently has de
? clared he is innocenti Vie has told'
| conflicting stories about his move- I
1 menu on the morning of the crime. !
' but he lias resolutely declared he had
never seen Mrs. Brandon.
! The killing of Mrs. Brandon and
j the incidents during the hunt for the
I criminal constitute one of the most 1
j sensational chapters in the annals of !
) crime in Annapolis and its vicinity. j
Mrs. Brandon was a youthful wife j
land expectant mother, living with i
her husband. Valentine N. Braudon. |
in a little home on Second street,
which runs lro.n West street to the1
Murray Hill section. Brandon, who j
: was employed at tlie naval experl-,
' mental station, left his home before I
! X o'clock on the morning of the day |
J of the crime. He returned after 6 j
j o'clock p. m. to lind his wife dead ,
on a couch in the front room of the i
first floor. Her clothing was torn;
J and disarranged, and there was a j
1 big bruise ou her forehead.
